Makers of products usually in demand in summer, such as air conditioners, beverages and ice cream, are hopeful of a boost in sales with hot season setting in early in the west and the south. In February, Mumbai recorded unusually high temperatures, touching 36 degrees Celsius. Bengaluru and Chennai, too, recorded high temperatures. This summer is likely to be hotter than the previous one.
